As the group encounters many dangers, Eva, the princess of Winter, shares a secret with Mel about a mysterious, masked prisoner known as "inmate thirty-six." Could this be the man the king sent them to find? And if so, how can the prince's party rescue this curious convict and escape under the evil eye of Eva's father, the king of Winter?
